Must be why all those small businesses that got affected (like the long-running local Bartell Drugs chain [0]) were protesting on the streets against this tax once it was implemented (shortly before it was repealed). Writing off the opposition as solely "pro-amazon shills" is exactly what gets those bs laws passed in the first place. I wonder how much money was wasted on all of this, given that it was repealed shortly after. Seems to be very in-line with how wastefully Seattle City Council has been running things. 0. https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/enough-is-enough-seattle-head-tax-draws-ire-of-bartell-drugs-chair/281-486108216 https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/enough-is-e...
